A federal judge has approved Anthropic's $1.5 billion copyright settlement, which the post describes as the largest in U.S. history.
The case began in 2024 when a group of authors sued Anthropic over the use of their books to train Claude. A San Francisco judge has now given the deal final approval, with authors expected to receive about $3,000 per book.
The poster hints that the most interesting details are in the broader backstory and the final breakdown of the settlement terms.
